Chowmahalla Palace
Chowmahalla Palace: The Nizams' Residence
- Located in Hyderabad, Telangana, India, it served as the Asaf Jahi dynasty's seat of power (1720-1948).
- The Nizams of Hyderabad's official residence during their reign.
- Presently, the palace has been transformed into a museum, although ownership remains with the family.
Historical Significance:
- Built on the site of an earlier palace from the Qutb Shahi and Asaf Jahi dynasties, in proximity to the Charminar.
- Construction was initiated by Nizam Ali Khan Asaf Jah II in 1769, resulting in the four palaces that gave it the name "Chau Mahalla."
- "Chār" or "chow" means "four," while "mahal" signifies "palace" in Urdu, Hindi, and Persian, thus creating the name Chowmahalla Palace.
